The engine

The engine is out!
I have begun stripping components ready for vapour blasting (This is a process like sand-blasting but rather than sand, a high-pressure mixture of water and crushed walnut shells is used because it doesn't damage the dimensions of the component) 


The internals of the engine are very clean, there is some slight wear on the kickstart gear which is to be expected. But other than that everything else is in very good condition and very clean around the cylinder.


The engine will get new gaskets and a new full exhaust system, keeping it original as possible.
